This is a good book for those seeking emotional health. Among the top twelve truths that one must believe for a healthy life are these: what "should" have happened did; you can't please everyone and you don't have to; you are going to die; the virtue lies in the struggle, not the prize; you are not entitled; your childhood isn't over; emotional problems are good; you reap what you sow. Thurman believes in an ultimate source of truth and gives a THIRTY DAY TRUTH PROGRAM. The Bible's truth undergird the focus.
